The Society
SolarPunk Society is a publisher, platform, and community that curates all things Solarpunk and grounds the Solarpunk ideal into reality. We produce a quarterly Solarpunk magazine that features art, architecture, literature, community projects, technology, and ancient wisdom teachings. Our Activator community portal provides education on Solarpunk projects, ways to connect to other Solarpunks, and access to submit art and literature to be published in our magazine or online.

Our Vision…
is to see humans heal their relationship with Earth and align their lives with Earth’s natural rhythms and resources, thus birthing a sustainable and symbiotic future.
We seek…
to spark radical shifts in consciousness by propagating Solarpunk art, literature, community projects, and architecture in today’s culture. Through education, open-source sharing, and our Solarpunk Activators platform, we catalyze societies that believe miracles can happen, radically organize with inclusiveness, and encourage individuals to take initiative where they feel motivated.
THE SHIFT
FOR UTOPIA
We Believe…
that if humanity admits and shifts the negative impact of our current global structure, we can halt the destruction of our biosphere. Together, we will leave behind fertile soil and for the next 7 generations.

The Magazine
Established in 2020, the SolarPunk Society Magazine is a quarterly print and digital magazine that features curated art, architecture, literature, community projects, technology, and ancient wisdom teachings. Its goal is to inspire and educate Solarpunks and help us bring this dream to reality.
This Solarpunk magazine was born out of Micah Wells and Jordan Larsen’s desire to contribute immediately to the Solarpunk movement. They were introduced at Indra’s Awarehouse in Austin, Texas by the owner, Randi Southard.
While brainstorming about what type of art collaboration they wanted to do, Jordan asked Micah if she’d ever seen Solarpunk art. She hadn’t.
The first time Micah’s eyes fell on Solarpunk art, she fell in love with the aesthetic and feeling it gave her. She knew that this was what they were meant to collaborate on. Within days, they started brainstorming and published the first issue of SolarPunk Society Magazine several months later on the Saturn and Jupiter conjunction in December 2020.

ABOUT
Since she was introduced to Solarpunk art in 2020, Micah has devoted herself to the Solarpunk movement by personally backing the Solarpunk Society Magazine, Activatorship, and Website. She has become an expert in Solarpunk ideology by researching projects and interviewing community members about how they are taking action now.
She is also a nature-inspired painter, truth seeker, intuitive healer, acro flow-yoga teacher, and community leader. Formerly, Micah was a part-owner of a hostel in Cambodia. There, she discovered her love for creating community and developed a burning passion to do something positive for people and the environment.
